melgar for her efforts as a champion for bayview prop c. supervisor melgar was a strong mediator for our is ity youth and families. thanks to her advocacy we were able to accomplish the goals sought by the mayor's office while preserving baby prop c funds for future generations. colleagues, we provided a lifeline to home grown business passes first year free and delaying scheduled increase to gross receipts business tax. i want to thank the mayor as champion for neighborhood commercial district. we are able to fund activation efforts throughout the city to increase foot traffic encourage diversity or discovery of what our diverse neighborhoods offer. residents and visitors are going to experience san francisco and create a lot of joy and we need more of that. speaking of joy, i are want to encourage all of my colleagues to attend our first sunset night market scheduled for september 15 on iving street. celebrate food, music arts. this helps accomplish many goals to improve our city, bringz people together, makes streets safer, gives small businesses a boost so i look forward having you there as we work to create our best san francisco. >> thank you supervisor engardio. president peskin. >> thank you supervisor walton. i rise to offer an amendment to item number 19 that is part of the budget package, which is the ordinance amending the election's code to opt out of a state law enacted last year that would require the names of supporters and opponents of local ballot measures to be listed in the ballot statement for any election. this measure did incompass the state law incompassed and applied to charter cities like san francisco, but gave us the ability to opt out and that is what this legislation provides. and given the fiscal situation that we face, i think it made sense. it costs according to john arts our director of elections in so far as it could add 125 characters per side per ballot measure and additional page. cost as much as a half million dollars so i concur with the legislation but it is nice if we can comply with ab1416 and to that end i like to offer a amendment that does not make this permanent but requires us to revisit this on a annual basis and that has been distributed to all of you in the long title. it would add at the end of the long title for any election held in fiscal year 23-24 and future elections subject to approval by the board of supervisors. on page 2, at the end of subsection f to add the language for elections held in fiscal year 23-24 and future approval by the board of supervisors by resolution submitted and approved as part of the annual budget process and to add that at section 5-10 on page 3 in subsection d, for election held after fy-23-24 the board may opt out of the requirements of section 910 subsection a by resolution submitted and approved as part of the annual budget process. i would like to thank deputy city attorney brad russi and deputy city attorney ann pierson for their very quick work in crafting this and the suggestions from ben rosenfield and ask for a second. >> thank you. motion to amend item 19 by president peskin and seconded by supervisor ronen. >> thank you. i'll call on supervisor walton next, but before i do that, is there a second to technical amendments, by chair chan and seconded by chair ronen. supervisor walton, the floor is yours. >> thank you president peskin. first want to start with a big thank you to chair chan for her leadership through the budget process as well as supervisor ronen working and bringing community together to address some of the proposals that the mayor put forth that really bring people together and do it in a manner that brought folks together so thank you so much for that. also want to thank tracey brown from my team as well as the entire district 10 office, the budget legislative analyst, controller's office, deputy city attorney ann pierson and of course the mayor's budget director anna dunning. we were able to restore a lot of resources that were proposed to be cut. restore cuts from the draconian mayor office of housing community development. restored funding to combat domestic violence, protected child care and homelessness resources, secure funding for recovery hubs and we secured funding for the office of reparations and just excited about being able to come to a point where we could balance the budget, particularly and in the face of pretty high deficits over the next couple fiscal years so thank you to everyone who worked hard on this budget, including the community and of course our clerk brent who was here with us the entire time and also other members of the clerk's office who stayed with us and of course made sure we were able to have efficient meetings and conducted business of the city. thank you. >> thank you supervisor walton. supervisor preston. >> thank you president peskin. i want to echo a lot of the comments of colleagues and really thank budget chair chan and entire budget committee for their extensive work and deliberation throughout the process and i really appreciate their diligence and care in balancing a lot of competing demands and needs and this looming deficit we are all aware of, and will not repeat but echo the thanks to all the other folks involved, bla, controller office, mayor budget office, city attorney. takes a ton of work to move this forward and appreciate everyone's efforts. let me start by recognizing-i think the budget committee was put in a very difficult spot this year. i think the mayor's budget funded some important shared priorities, including tenant right to counsel, various mou's with unions, wellness hubs and are many other essential services, but at the same time, that budget also sought to defund key and crucial priorities like affordable housing, food banks and services for domestic violence survivors just to name a few. as some of my colleagues referenced, the community really activated to push back on that initial proposed budget and really thanks to the advocacy of residents across san francisco, and the work of this board lead by chair chan and the budget committee and as a number of folks recognized in particular, former chair ronen's work on the major ballot measures and others on the committee who really took leadership each on their own initiatives. the budget was dramatically improved in many respects. in addition to restoring some of the most mayoral cuts this budget provides funding for crucial programs and resources that will help our city become more equitable for poor and working class san franciscans. i'm also personally deeply appreciative of the many items we were able to secure from my district including a drop in site for homeless individuals in the tenderloin. peer lead overdose funding, (indiscernible) violence preventions, (indiscernible) just to name a few. p so i'm proud of our office work in the budget process and appreciate the collaboration of budget committee members and chair chan in securing a lot of those crucial budget items. i want to say that i recognize that no budget is perfect. there is a process of give and take here but here is where i land, were it not for two major issues and that's the defunding of social housing and the massive increase to the police budget, issues i made clear are red-line for my support of a budget, were not for those issues i would support this budget even if i had issues with particular line items here and there as we all have particular issues with line items here and there. on housing, inexplicbly the mayor continues the unfortunate pattern of seeking to divert prop i revenue away from social housing. but this year the mayor's budget and budget before us went a step forward defunding to the tune of 20million. funds the board already appropriated to the housing stability fund for small site acquisition and community land trust. this undoes progress toward affordable housing goals set forth in the housing element. it means displacement of residents at the hands of real estate speculators and loss of buildings that could have been saved and converted permanently to affordable house. i want to be clear, the refusal to invest in social housing is not because of a lack of funds and that is clear from what this budget does with the police budget. in this budget we will fund policing thin city more then we ever have before to the tune of nearly $800 million. the sfpd is getting a $62 million increase on top of the $50 million increase last year and $25 million supplemental just a handful of months ago. this despite the fact that our city has made significant investments and progress in diverting non-criminal calls from police and reducing calls for service. our office suggested millions of dollars of cuts to sfpd the public wouldn't have noticed and none were taken. meanwhile racial disparities in policing rage on despite reform efforts. the most recent data shows the end of last year police were 25 times more likely to use force against the black community then they were against white people. and the recent arrest of 81 children many children of color at a recent skating event shows police resources continue to be used in questionable ways. these unconditional budget give-aways to sfpd are in my opinion out of hand and not making us safer. so, colleagues, rb i will be voting no despite the many good things in this budget, including many things that i my team spent countless hours working to support. i do this with immense respect and gratitude and appreciation for the work of chair chan and the budget committee, and i appreciate and thank them all for their work. i also want to thank my entire staff, especially my legislative aid preston killgore who led the work of my office along with melissa hernandez, kyle (indiscernible) and jennifer bullen and thank each and every person and community group who met with us to advocate for priorities in the budget and came and spoke to the budget committee. we appreciate your time and involvement and there is no question in my mind that you all helped to dramatically improve this budget. with respect and for these reasons i will be voting no on the budget today. thank you. >> supervisor preston, just as a house-keeping matter, would you like me to call and vote separately on items 2 and 3 or would you like me to call-we have called 2-36 together. would you like me to call and vote on them as one? how would you like to cast your descenting vote? >> i assumed as a package-happy to support the amendments put forward. >> great. supervisor safai. >> thank you. i just want to briefly say thank you to chair chan for her work leading this process and all the committee members. my colleagues supervisor ronen, mandelman, walton for-- (indiscernible) and supervisor melgar for jumping in. obviously helping tremendously during the process and president peskin. also want to thank the budget director anna dunning and her team working so collaboratively with us. i will say that i think the way the conversation started and the way the budget was presented to us, i think it was extremely harsh toward children and families. took a lot of work and lot of energy to get the message out to them that we were going to do everything we can to balance this out and it is hard when people haven't gone through that process before to understand exactly what the outcome might end up being, but i think we did a good job in the end and probably a precursor to the conversations there next year, but i thought the process was smooth. other then public comment every single day. just kidding. [laughter ] not really. anyway, but thank you for everyone involved and i think at the end i think we have a pretty strong budget with really good initiatives that will help move the city fo

melgar for working with advocates on this. i read the supervisor, melgar sorry amendments and it's perfect. brilliant. and just just want to appreciate you both. thank you so much for your work on this. thank you. and supervisor malka . thank you. chair chan and colleagues, i really just first of all, want to thank all the early care providers and the families who have been in this process and sort of woken up to our political process. it has been an amazing thing to watch. so i want to say thank you so much. i am here to implore the committee not to pass item number 11. so i just want to tell you a little bit just personally years ago, i was offered a job by the then mayor , gavin newsom, because i had just come back into town after having been in graduate school on the east coast. and my little my girls were little. i was also offered three other jobs at the same time. and i took this job because i found childcare after school, childcare nearby, within a block of where of one south, which is where the office was. and that made the difference for me. so we know that we want people to come back to work in san francisco. the people who have come not come back in the greatest number are actually women in the number one reason, according to the center for american progress 62% is because they cannot find child care childcare. and so, you know, for me, in the cost benefit analysis of what mr. egan told us last week of, you know, the incentive that we are providing for folks who might lease up versus what we know, what has been quantified will get people here. and it's a very complicated issue. the coming back to work is not just one thing, it's many things. but this very small commercial tax decrease. it's not in the same level as what we lose by not building a system of universal childcare, which by the way, we can focus on downtown. we can focus on the areas where we want people to come back to work. but that is a personal anecdote, and i'm making a plea for you. but you know, i want to say we all share the collective goal to incent new businesses to come back to san francisco, to downtown, particularly to add back the vibrancy that we have lost downtown. and based on some of the initial economic analysis, the long term impacts and costs as a share for chance that outweigh the potential benefits , i know that this board will work closely with a mayor on the gross receipts tax and other measures, but child care and other essential types of services are also a part of the economic recovery, and they don't hit everyone the same way. this is also a gender equity issue and an issue for service workers, particularly, i look forward to thinking more boldly and courageously about all of the various elements that we need to breathe new life back into our economy. so as for item 12, the proposal to reduce the baseline of busy, i just want to say that this has been really, really difficult and i want to acknowledge the disappointment and the pain that the provider community is feeling. i also want to thank chair chan in particular for your outreach to the chinese speaking providers. these are small business women who are often left out of the conversation because they don't speak english and work really hard to take care of others. so i really want to thank you personally for your engagement and involvement in that. the uh, so i just want to say that, you know, despite the difficulty, it is difficult to accept because it goes against the spirit of the b c initiative and sets up an unfortunate precedent. the language and the initiative for bbc was deliberately written so that new revenue would supplement it existing funding, not supply it, because we're tired of dealing with that. we already know that the existing funds we have, we might not even make a dent in the growing need for childcare, particularly for infants and toddlers. and that's not acceptable. we already know that there's a desperate need for more funding to support families with young children, babies and toddlers. however, i also want to recognize that we are in a really difficult budget situation and i want to thank all of you for being here. long hours, day after days, and tackling it all. i also want to thank ben rosenfield. thank you so much for your work and for your thought partnership. and for joining for doing the same. it's been really a lot. so that being said, it is not prudent for us to balance a budget on one time. fixes but this is before us today. we have to tackle it. and so i would like to propose the amendments that you have before you to consider. and it would still result in roughly the same amount of funding available in the general fund to help balance this budget. but it does not set a precedent for reducing the bbc baseline in future years. so since bbc was held up in litigation, the revenues collected interest over time. it is a roughly the same amount of interest as what we need to balance the budget. so this amendment would tie the amount we're freeing up in the general fund to the interest accrued instead of reducing the baseline outright. this amendment would be a credit against the baseline so that we will be using the amount collected in interest to the fund. so for fiscal year 2324, the credit against the baseline for interest earned would be up to 20 million for fiscal year 2425. it would be up to 10 million. there's also language in the amendments that i submitted that states that these credits will not be applied against the base amount of any year in which the babies and families first fund is less than 100 million. the other change to the proposed legislation is that in the event the deficit in fiscal year 2324 is less than 200 million, we can only hope as adjusted at the time in march of 2024, that it would undo the freeze in the growth of the baseline as is currently proposed. so that just gives us an out if that happens . so this does not change the fact that up to 30 million of funds would that would have otherwise been used for early care in education will now be used for other budgetary priorities. i want to acknowledge that. and, you know , empathize with the pain. but i hope that we find a way to resolve this issue in the future without having to do this again . the baseline is there for a reason. again, i just want to thank our controller, ben rosenfield, and also the city attorney team, john guv'nor. scott webber. and for all their quick word, smithing and creative thinking. so thank you, chair chan, for your leadership in. i ask for your support colleagues. thank you. supervisor safai thank you. thank you, supervisor melgar, for all your hard work on this. thank you to the childcare community for your patience with me. i know we had a lot of conversations. i know you understood my anxiety. my anxiety was both for you and your long term success, as well as the success of where the source of this money would come from. and you've heard us talk today about some of the true worries that we have in the city in terms of our leasing. i do want to acknowledge that. i think that this process was unfairly thrust upon you and thrust upon us in a way that we could not have a thoughtful conversation in advance to prepare everyone truly for what the magnitude of what this would mean. and in fact, we were reacting in a very haphazard way, and we had and it caused a lot of discomfort. it caused a lot of anxiety. and i would just say i appreciate supervisor melgar intervening and working and all of the staff that she mentioned and other members of the board here. but i think we ended up with probably the best solution fo
