mr. rose, why don't we go to your report. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee. just to put this budget into perspective, the public defender is requesting a budget of $30 million. the budget analyst has recommended total recommended reductions of $75,000. our recommendation to increase salary savings by $55,000 is very conservative. it has given the public defender more than what he needs. if he can provide us documentation with two other recommendations, but based upon what we've seen, our recommendations is conservative. you can't calculate the percentage of this reduction to the $30 million budget request. so the fact that the public defender is agreeing with a couple of our recommendations doesn't mean a thing to me. anyway, mr. chairman and members of the committee, on page 68 of our report, our recommended reduction to the proposed budget totaling $75,000 in 2014-15, those are all ongoing savings and will increase $2014-15, those are all ongoing savings and will increase an increase of $1.58 million or 5.4 percent reduction. the total budget is -- $73,000

mr. rose, why don't we go to your report. >> mr. chairman, member of the committee, supervisor breed, which page are you referring to? >> i am not certain, supervisor. i think the chief would know. it's one of the abbreviations of one of their divisions. we could have the wrong abbreviation. i'm not certain. >> it is acb. >> it is. >> and even though we're a big acronym place, i can't put that one together. >> [inaudible]. >> nor i. >> mr. chair, members of the committee, on page 66 our recommended reduction to the proposed budget total 1,507,3 61 in 14-15. of that amount 1,308, [speaker not understood] are ongoing savings. [speaker not understood]. these reductions would still allow an increase of 1.5 million with 3/10 of a percent in the department's 13, 14 budget. [speaker not understood] for 15-16. of that amount, 1,0 99,87 2 [speaker not understood]. these reductions to still allow an increase of 2.7 million, 5/10 of a percent [speaker not understood]. the chief does concur with our recommended reductions. >> thank you, supervi

mr. rose can we go to your report? >> yes mr. chairman and members of the committee. mr. mayor man should i comment on item five? >> yeah, why don't we do both together. thanks. >> on item five which is page 15 of our report we -- our recommendation is that we consider proposal of the fee resolution for a policy matter for

mr. miller is not going to get paid, mr. portnow is not going to get paid and we end up with a situation. we had a -- it was two years ago that we dealt with sopa that was not going to work but all of us agreed that, you know, we ought to follow the money and make sure that we end up with a system that compensates rights holders. this is a key element of that. again, mr. -- my time has again, my time is expired, but i think this has been an excellent panel. >> i think one of the things that we should remember, you should take into the fact that businesses won't have as many problems with prospective change. and that's, if you look, i think, you should look at more of the perspective rather than going backwards. >> allow me to add this. as we move to international trade more and more for our music, the countries need to communicate with us in different languages and different character sets. any kind of unique number of respect for them makes it very difficult to get mr. miller his money when we're seeing a chinese organizatio

mr. rose, why don't we go to your report and we can flesh this out. thanks. >> mr. chairman and member of the committee, our recommendation has absolutely nothing to do with public defender mentioned three things. the district attorney's budget, the leap program, and the indigent defense program. our recommendation had a absolutely nothing to do with any of those items. let me read you the recommendation which is on page 12 of our report. we say the increase attrition savings 14-15, the department is proposing to reduce attrition savings by 122,335 to hire vacant positions that has a salary surplus in 13-14. the documentation provided by the public defenders office indicates the implementation of the budget and legislative analyst recommended reduction [speaker not understood] would result in a deficit for the public defenders office. on the contrary, the analysis by the budget and legislative analyst shows that not only would our recommendation not result in a deficit, but rather the public defender would still have surplus funds available even if the implementatio

go ahead mr. klein. >> guest: okay. i have made many trips to chicago where barack obama began his political career and where the african-american community was the first community that got behind him in a strong way to raise money for him and launched him on his political career. i interviewed many many members of the african-american community in chicago. almost without exception they are disappointed with barack obama because once he got into the white house they never heard from him again. they made phonecalls, they wrote letters, they send e-mails. they said you know here we were what they call the first people, people who were there from the beginning of his career and without whom he could not have arisen to the great heights that he has and he has forgotten them. it's not only the african-american community. i have also interviewed jewish who have raised a lot of money for barack obama, christians who are liberal and who are very pro-obama and they say almost without exception that you know they love this man, t

mr. rhodes, can we go ahead -- get your report. >> yes, mr. chairman, on page 38, regarding items 6 and 7. we report that the office of public finances estimates the annual debt service in the bonds is approximately 1, million, $791 and $13, 34,000 on the bonds estimate at 5.1 percent. the combined debt of interest over 20 years of the bond is $828,000. on page 8 of the report for the property tax would be maintained below the 2005, 2006 rate. so that is the estimate. and on page 40, we do recommend that you approve this legislation. regarding item 8 on page 56 of our report, we note that in 2012. the budget and legislative analyst made a finding of fiscal fees ability for the proposed historic buildings project to rehabilitate the building to 20th street as pier 70 and we did at the time the board of supervisors endorse the project. since that time the total estimated the cost of the project has increased by $18 million, from $58.5 million to $76.5 million. it's due to the port over the 66 -year lease term has also increased to $17 million. a

mr. rose can we go to your report speaker: mr. chairman and members of the committee, on page 91 of our report, our recommended report totals 161, 462 in 14-15 and these reductions will allow an increase of $1 million or 4.9 percent. our reductions in the budget to theal 194, 833 in 2015 and 166, 538 are on going savings. these reductions will still allow an increase of $3 million or 5.2 percent. as the director stated, we're working with the department and we'll report back to the committee next week. >> okay. thank you, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose or the staff at this time. okay. we'll see you back here next week. so at this point in time, we're done with our department budget for today. should we continue items 1 and 2. we have a motion to do so and we can do so without objection. >> madam clerk, call item 4 and 5. >> that's a resolution budget of the -- operating as the agency to the san francisco redevelopment agency for fiscal year 2014-2015. item number 5 is a resolution approving the budget of office i

mr. green's saying, what you're saying but the bottom line is going back to what mr. green has said, if you had the data to show that we could get the same security, costs -- >> time. >> and time. all of those factors pretty much the same, that he would sign on the dotted line. am i right? >> that's correct. >> so why can't we get the information? there seems to be some reluctance and i don't know why that is. can you help us with that? because, see, one of the things that happens here and i have lived long enough and seen enough and been up here long enough, we can get distracted from the mission by getting caught up in a lot of -- i'm not saying we don't have to deal with those issues but it doesn't allow us to do what we're supposed to be doing and that is providing security. so, we've got -- oh, why didn't i get this report? they're legitimate questions. they really are. but at the same time that's the time that we could be taking our energy and focusing on making sure that our folks are safe. that's what the american people want. so go ahead. >> i think that's ab

mr. sutton go on beyond his. i appreciate you not kicking me at three minutes you. >> were telling me to cut him off. >> i was. but you didn't, did you? >> if pilpel is speaking as an individual i provided staff to correction to the minutes non substantive and i am not sure if under the office of the city attorney josh wanted to be josh or joshua and they're non substannive and hopefully you will consider them. thanks. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? minutes will be adopted. discussion of the executive director's report. >> i don't have any highlights today. we are in a new fiscal year obviously so the report reflects that, and if you didn't get my message earlier i just wanted to point out that today the court of appeal 1st district published its opinion in the lawsuit and found unanimously in favor of the ethics commission. >> jack, you submitted a budget for 4.7 and came out of the mayor's office with 4.5 and across the board of supervisors you got -- [inaudible] >> yes. >> which leaves delta about

mr. rose can we go to your report? >> yes mr. chairman and members of the committee. mr. mayor man should i comment on item five? >> yeah, why don't we do both together. thanks. >> on item five which is page 15 of our report we -- our recommendation is that we consider proposal of the fee resolution for a policy matter for the board of supervisors. however, we know that the proposed budget is balanced on the assumption that the fee legislation shown on page 15 will be approved. our recommended reductions to the proposed budget total 536056 in 13-15 and we have ongoing savings and we have one time savings. these reductions would allow increase of of 36-point 7% in the budget. we also recommend closing out prior year expended encumbrances and those recommendations in 14-15 would result in general fund savings of 363,746. our recommended reduction to the proposed budget total listed in that amount and we have ongoing amounts and savings of one time savings. these would allow an increase as listed or 5.5% in departments 15-16 budget. these recommendations are a result in, and

we're always going to have fires out west, mr. president, but we must be proactive in treating our forests and rangelands so that we can reduce the size, the frequency and the intensities of these forest fires. my amendment streamlines the bureaucratic process for fire prevention projects. where a dangerous density of fuel threatens critical infrastructure like power lines, schools, water delivery canals, private property owners that live adjacent to federal lands and areas that threaten endangered species like the greater sage-grouse. every year, every year i hear from ranch thears live in our northern rural counties like humboldt counties where through no fault of their own fires on federal land spread on to their private property. the federal agencies have to prioritize proactive preventive work in these areas. my constituents should not have to suffer because the federal government is simply not doing their job to properly manage our own lands. i think nearly everyone can agree on a commonsense proposal like the energy fuel re

mrs. ford. to a man, they were petrified. they did not want to go near mrs. ford. i mentioned it to her one day and she said, i did not want to say anything to you because i did not want to frighten you. but just before you came on board we had a major blow up. the west wing was going to take over the guest list. and so she said i had to call a few of the boys into the woodshed. so that is where i got my toughness. >> i love it. how did you become social secretary and how did the role of social secretary function within the office of the first lady and within the white house at that time? >> i came to the job from the johnson's house because i had worked with them since, actually, i started that job because my husband had lied to me. because he told me that when we got married that he was going to build his life, not like my father had, not like his stepfather had. he was going to build his life around his hobbies and his family's. and suddenly i looked up after during the campaign in 1960 and where was he? he was nowhere. he was off traveling. doing advance trips

mr. speaker. we have an export-import bank that is going to expire very shortly. it's of great concern to many people on both sides of the aisle. there are 41 -- the republican members, mr. speaker, have signed a letter urging that this be brought to the floor. it's a very timely issue, critical issue for the competitiveness of our country. it has been twisting in the wind for this entire year. i worked with, mr. speaker, with the leader's predecessor to see whether or not we could get this bill to the floor. i ask my friend -- i know what the schedule is next week so he doesn't need to repeat that to me. i thank that very much. does the majority leader have any idea whether we're going to consider export-import bank before the election, and i yield my friend such time as he needs? mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. as my friend, the gentleman, knows this is in regards to the schedule for next week and it's not scheduled for next week. any consideration of it coming up, we will notify you and i yield back. mr. hoyer: mr. speaker, i'm not going to ask

the list could go on. mr. wilson, i'm going to go back to you. you obviously bank a lot of low and moderate income people. is dodd/frank hurting low and moderate income people? >> yes, sir, in our market, that's was probably the main niche we had in the housing side. our census tracks are low to moderate income for our community. and so those that do not have access to that credit from us, it's hurting them. >> thank you. i yield to the ranking member. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. to barney frank, who works so very, very hard to bring about protection for consumers and who spent a considerable amount of time paying attention to community banks, i kind of resent mr. wilson's testimony here today that talks about qm even. without him even understanding that his bank under qm, your bank under 2 billion, you can keep all of your loans in portfolio as long as they are not predatory loans. no documentation loans, those kinds of loans. and you have some protection under safe harbor. so i've got to go to barney frank. just talk about what we hav
