supervisor kim: thank you. public comment is -- >> i would like to echo the sentiments of the previous speaker. it is very disgraceful, first of all, to the public and to you as elected members of the city that someone who is appointed by their own supervisor cannot be present so that the public would know who they are. it is unacceptable. muni is still running after 100 years. they need to be here, out of respect. otherwise, it needs to go back out into the public and someone else needs to apply. supervisor kim: thank you. any other public comment on item number one? public comment is now closed. supervisor wiener: i would request that the committee to continue this item to the next meeting. despite strict -- despite the comments, he is a very good and dedicated member of the community. he is also a senior and disabled. i have no idea why he was not able to come today. i would asked -- supervisor kim: we do leave time for public comment. we do not have responses outside of public comment. supervisor wiener: we

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: thank you. by the way, congratulations on getting down from 16,000 to 10,000 buying your backlog. there have been a series of e- mails from residents complaining about the length of time that it is taking for these assessments. i am wondering if you can address that? >> absolutely. your district in particular along with supervisor avalos and supervisor cohen's districts were there are a number of short sales in foreclosure is occurring, it will take longer. traditionally, it would be processed in rare between three to five months. by purchased a home that was on the market, in general the gets processed rather quickly. unfortunately, foreclosures and short sales, because it is not always market pricing, we have had to set them aside and put him in it with everything else. because of that, it might even take upwards of two years or 18 months to do those. so, obviously, we definitely get calls from your staff and tried to walk them thru with the status is for different ones. but for residential on

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i'm happy to see that these two libraries on are on your list because i know there are a lot of families in that neighborhood. how do you evaluate the need? >> we work with the school district to gather data, everything from dropout rates to the size of the community, the demographics, whether there are language. , all that is taken into account, -- language barriers. all that is taken into account. i should also say, this coming year, by march 2013, as required by the library preservation fund, we are engaging in a study to look and all hours across the city. that is required by the library preservation fund. there is a hearing in each supervisor oral district and we look forward to working with each of you to make sure that we have community input on modifying hours. we definitely do it very deliberate based on need and, at some point, getting to where all the branches are maximizing their hours. supervisor kim: we do have data on the usage of the library. >> we defi

the younger kim emerged in public as heir apparent. the magazine says kim jong-il told him of his decision while handing him a diploma. kim said he should continue the military first policy. kim jong-un replied that he will live up to his father's trust by leading an invincible military force. >> the people of egypt are facing a new wave of turmoil. an islamic fundamentalist group says its candidate won the election and the military government is strengthening its authority. the muslim brotherhood declared victory on monday based on its own ballot count. officials at the supreme council then announced they will transfer power to a civilian government by the end of this month as planned. but they also said they will amend egypt's interim constitution, creating a committee to draft a new constitution even after the transfer of power. the down sill says the military has the authority to make laws until a new parliament is formed. >> translator: we place a high value on the constitution and put the good of the nation above our own privileg

supervisor kim. supervisor kim: last week became for with that of the $500,000 we did allocate to the revolving fund, none of those dollars have been expended. we can pull them over to 2012- 2013, right? >> the $500,000 has not been expended. there is $380,000 in small- business loans that have been preapproved by working solutions that are in the queue. we have had administrative problems getting it to them. when that goes out, it will leave $120,000. supervisor kim: i remember working solutions had a fund balance. there's the 500,000 old rear granting them. one of the policy considerations was was that working solutions already had a fund balance it was not able to expand. the question is whether they can expand $1 million over the next year given the heavy fund balance already. the $300,000 could come out of their existing fund balance prior to our $1 million allocation. >> i do not remember what the balance was. i can find out and report back later in the day. i understand was the balance rotated

supervisor kim: i am sorry. i noticed you had a drop in the second year, fy 2013-2014, down to $1.3 million. do you have a one-time project that is accounted for this drop by a professional services? i was just curious. >> is that in the general fund? or is that in the restricted funds? supervisor kim: we can talk about this offline. it is what i have under your line-item of professional services, which a allocated for fiscal year 2012-2013 and 2013- 2014. i think it is a mixture of funds. 2012-2013, you have allocated $2.7 million, and it declines the next year to $1.3 million. >> yes, that is the one-time investment from our restricted fund that we're finding ourselves. the e-recording and the upgrade of the recorded division that was mentioned. supervisor kim: thank you. >> ok. supervisor chu: thank you. colleagues, we will go back to the general order of departments. the next department is the treasure island development authority. we have mary ann from treasure island. >> good afternoon. i am the director o

supervisor kim. i did get the fund balance as of march 27. it was $520,000. even with the loans earmarked, $1.5 million given to the revolving loan fund. i feel comfortable supporting supervisor avalos' motion. i understand there are multiple tiered loan programs and appreciate the diversity. i would rather we start slightly slower in our first year disbursing these loans. after we see the outcome, including the diversity of which corridors and they land in and the success and ability of us to be to allocate these loans in a timely matter -- manner, then we evaluate to see if we want to increase the loan fund even more the following year or through a supplemental appropriation this year. i do appreciate this program. i am a huge supporter. i personally went out and did our reach for the revolving loan fund. our small business owners are excited about it. i do think we should be more measured in our first year of this program, understanding the resorted $509,000 in revolving loan fund prior to our $1

supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i tried to get a grasp on something that you said. you spoke rather quickly. the state department's ask for the largest increase in the general fund. 162%, which is a drastic increase. roughly of the $5 million in additional -- in general fund support that you are getting, $2 million of this is roughly -- >> $2.3 million actually should be in the rec and parks department. to do the 17th and folsom park, the puc property we have been working on. supervisor kim: i know the project well, but what will rec and park be doing? >> it is actually capital dollars. will go to build parks. supervisor kim: the impact will flow through the planning department. then the eir, the permanent project tracking system. for the warriors, i understand that would also be paid through fees, not to the general fund. ok, so that is not coming through the general fund. for the three planners, there is one -- two for the warriors? >> yes. supervisor kim: 1 more for the preservation, and the other for the rec and parks. you have agreed for rec and park planners s

supervisor kim: do you have a deadline? an entire fiscal year has passed and i was promised this would happen. >> i will check with the clerk and see if we have established a firm debris we want to make sure we do it in partnership with the clerk and all the board members are comfortable with that date for the conversion. based on our conversation, they are very excited about the new office 365 coming out in august for us. soon after august as possible, we will get you on the new system. supervisor kim: why did we not pick a gmail or cloud-based system? why is it we did not move to a system like that? >> the subcommittees' went through a least a year of discussion and analysis with various e-mail systems. willits that the newer version of lotus and it was the recommendation of the city that we go with exchange. we have 70 e-mail systems that we support. wanted -- wanted to implement something that would get accepted widely by the city and jameel was discussed but we looked at the project and we thought we could overcome the

i agree with supervisor kim. if there is a way for us to provide legal references and information in a better way, i think that we ought to. marcia, i know the you shared with us your thoughts on utilization. i think that if we are able to expand to some of our branch libraries in various communities, it might be better for our residents in terms of getting those resources as opposed to tracking out to a central location. i just wonder if there is a better way to provide a law library service. i know that there are requirements at the state level regarding the obligations, so i would ask the mayor's office to work with our library partner to figure out how it is we can fulfil those requirements, but perhaps do it in a different way. many of our resources are on books now, but as the supervisor talked about, many people utilize lexus in excess -- nexus. and other resources. >> we are happy to work with the city as we work through this issue. we think that there are a number of supervisors, and others, interested i

supervisor kim: what has the discussion been? i know these are choices the school district absolutely does not want to make, but what is the discussion in terms of how we get to our goals around stood achievement every year if we have maybe 13 less than structural days next year? as little as six, but maybe as many as 13. >> you can imagine what those discussions have been. they have been extremely difficult, doing more with less. we are still trying to make some investments around core curriculum and supporting our students, particularly our african-american, latino, and pacific islander students and invest in those areas. we are fortunate to have federal dollars that support the areas of most need for the bayview and the mission. we gotta try to do some of the additional outside funding that we have. we were just having the discussion that i of the city does not step up the way that it has, we would be one of the 25% of school districts in the state that have filed for bankruptcy or will not be meeting their budget requirements

sueprvisor kim: thank you. sorry. i had a quick question. in terms of the relocation of the residents of treasure island, which i know we have been planning for for a long time, i was curious, with financing for the development as a whole, as the developers seek financing, has there been any conversation in delaying the process until there is more certainty? or will we have it regardless of the fact that we do not know when the construction might begin? >> we are all confident at this point that next year we will be relocating residents. residents will be leaving no sooner than january, receiving a 90 day notice to move. we are confident that we're going to get started on the project in earnest beginning in july of next year. we do not want to delay the phasing of the project. >> we have some general commitments from the developer that we will be able to begin that work in july of 2013? >> right. there is plenty of infrastructure work to get it started. sueprvisor kim: >> i just want to make sure that we are doing it when we need to, instead

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: before we go on, i do want to thank the mayor's office for the tremendous amount of work that went into this. it was an incredibly complicated process to move around funds and find homes for a lot of these projects and programs that are incredibly important to our communities. in particular, in my district and in supervisor cohen's district 10. i was pleased to see a lot of this was prioritized in the mayor's budget. i know folks in the mid market and sell the market were happy to see that. we are happy to learn that some of them turned out to be enforceable obligations, whether it was the alleyway improvements, which people were concerned about. one of my concerns now is we have many departments owning this work, whether it is the city administrator, mayor's office of economic develop a work force, dpw, mayor's office of housing. i am curious on how we plan to retain discussion and communication, and whether we can do more consolidating? in particular, there seems to

chair kim: can you remind me again. i know we went over this last month, but with the fta grant, when will we have final confirmation? >> we do have notice of a war, it just has not been executed. we're working on the timing and process for all of that. director ortiz: dtx preliminary. at the last sentence you say in addition to the budget excludes costs associated with advanced preliminary engineering should new revenues be found. should that 400 for this project, would it cover that? >> no, the 400 million is funding the train box, but not actually funding in the engineering or continuation for the downtown extension. >> ok. director ortiz: ok. >> any other questions from directors? chair kim: i do appreciate the detailed budget narrative that accompanied the budget itself and very helpful to get an explanation of the planned revenues that have not yet been committed. it seems to be a good balance of what we've been able to put forward in knowing much of the revenue that is coming in is very helpful. a motion to appro

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: our office also has some questions we ask the permits as well. one was on how much your department currently spends on professional services. i know that you usually meet or exceed what you itemize for that line item. >> i'm not sure i understand question. supervisor kim: what do you currently spend of professional services? two vendors? supervisor kim: external, nonprofit, legal, anything you are contracting out for your department? >> about $250,000. mainly they relate to support services, lexus nexus, messengers, legal support services, and the like. of course, there are times when we contract with outside counsel. some of that we paid directly out of our office. sometimes it comes out of other city department budgets. mostly it relates to legal support services and outside counsel. supervisor kim: it would be great to have a breakdown. they all sound alike were these services, but it would be helpful to get a sense of them, and we like to look a cost effectiveness.

clerk: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: thank you. i just wanted to clear up some of the confusion about my previous in. it will be raised at full buildout for juan rincon hill, each unit -- for one rincon hill, i consider this to be luxury development in san francisco. the units are gone for at

supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i had some miscellaneous questions asked. you brought this up earlier. this was a question i asked for the budget legislative analyst report on our fleet her your looking at a study of how to make our fleet -- to reduce our fleet size based on right sizing analysis and i was curious as to how that work is going. i'm interested in knowing if we have the cars we need or if we have too many. we can do more sharing. i haven't -- a hard time believing that every employee needs their own car. it cannot imagine they're always out on the field. as we have older vehicles were moving off line, there are ways to look at that. how is your office looking at that? >> i have a few initiatives going on. we're going to send out the yearly letter writers to look at the take-home vehicles and reduce their fleets and remind them about the health the air clean transportation ordinance. we have a city car sharing agreement with city car share where we're trying to encourage departments to use city car share. we have a very good vehicle pool where
